A
Quick Summary
We all have candida
in our bodies we need to keep it from getting out of control.
Women are more
vulnerable to the condition than men (women are 8 times more
likely to get candidiasis than men).
Prolonged use of
antibiotics is most probably the most important factor in the
development of chronic candidiasis.
A depressed immune
system is responsible for recurrent or chronic infections,
including chronic candidiasis.
Therefore restoring
proper immune function is one of the key goals in the treatment
of chronic candidiasis.
Candidiasis
presents a wide range of symptoms and is not easy to diagnose
with normal blood tests.
An all-inclusive
and holistic approach is the most efficient way to treat chronic
candidiasis and is much better than simply trying to kill the
candida with a single drug or a natural anticandida agent.
You should now also
complete the Candida Questionnaire to get a more accurate analysis and
understanding of your symptoms.
